Dhigufaru Island Resort

An absolutely amazing resort with the most helpful people and beautiful facilities. I loved my stay there. The only downside was that you had to pay huge prices for everything. The resort price alone is really expensive, and they should add some of the water sports to that expense. Not everyone wants or can afford) the all inclusive, so a few of the water sports should be included for everyone. Kayaks, paddle boards etc. should be “free” for every guest.  I really can’t complain about anything else, it was beautiful and peaceful, and it is a great resort to go to! They also communicated with the sea planes and made it super easy to get to and from the airport to the island. Thank you!

Very very good hotel!👍👌

Dhigufaru is an absolutely magical place. I have been to a fair few islands in the Maldives but this one is just the best. The island is small but beautiful. The beaches are stunning and I’ve never seen more gorgeous sunsets anywhere, every single night. We stayed in a semi water villa with a massive bathroom with 2 showers and a bath. It was perfect. The food was lovely with plenty of variety and choice. My only suggestion would be to offer some gluten free bread and pasta for us coeliacs. But what really makes this place so special is the staff. They are so helpful and friendly and always welcome you with a big smile. They really are one big happy family. A special thanks to Shibaz, the resort manager and Faisal for making my partners 50th birthday so special. They really pulled it out the bag, including not one, but two birthday cakes and a surprise movie night on the beach for us and some friends. Also, the sunset cruise they invited us on was amazing. A big thanks to Mary, our host, for looking after us. Also, a big thank you to Thilak and all the girls at the Thundi pool bar. A great place to hang out during the day, sipping a cocktail or two or for drinks at sundown. Also a big thank you to Nina, Jean-Luc, Niko and all the dive team. The snorkelling trips were brilliant and I fulfilled my dream of seeing loads of Manta Rays! Overall, I cannot recommend this beautiful, tranquil island enough. It’s not the poshest but it’s by far my favourite for the people, the mantas, the sunsets and the warm hospitality we were shown throughout our stay.

A visit to the Maldives had been on my wife’s bucket list for many years, a big birthday for me provided the perfect opportunity for her to book a trip. I was consulted about what I might like, my list included a decent seaplane ride, excellent snorkelling, big game fishing and comfortable accommodation in the form of a water bungalow. A booking at Dhigufaru was made. I was not disappointed. The meet and greet service at Male airport was excellent and we were quickly transferred to the seaplane terminal and the ride over the atolls was spectacular. When we arrived, it was to a proper desert island, but with every amenity that a stranded person would need to survive in quite some style. There was a warm welcome and very efficient check in, we were shown to our room, a magical water bungalow set a few feet above the water, fish and corals. Mary who was the lead for customer service was first class and made sure anything we wanted to know or needed was catered for and was charming to boot. The accommodation was excellent, super comfy bed with a view over the reef and a bathroom, similarly orientated with bath that was big enough to properly float in. The food in the main restaurant was very good with a wide range of choices, freshly made and super waiting and kitchen staff. There were plenty of amenities on the island, however the main draw for us was the reef with excellent snorkelling which we spent hours ever day gazing at. There were very good facilities to help people who were less confident in the water get out and excursions off island, where we swam with turtles and manta rays. We booked a day out big game fishing, which involved a very early start, and we were accompanied by one of the resort managers Faisal who came with us on his day off to ensure all went to plan, and we had a crew who knew what they were doing. The early start and motor out were all part of the adventure, once we got to the designated fishing area, we quite simply had one of the best fishing trips ever, the rods did not rest until it was time to motor back. Before sunset, each day there was a huge gathering of big stingrays, reef and lemon sharks all seeking out an bit of fish from the kitchen. Needless to say, the days spun past too quickly and we did not want to leave and will definitely be going back. The Maldives are a place of wonder and not to be missed. Our seaplane was delayed a bit on the taxi way coming home, dolphins on the runway….it doesn’t get much better than that. A big thank you to the team who made for an unforgettable trip.

Went for my 50th birthday , lovely place, staff were great, friendly, supportive, Mary was always there to answer any questions and was looking after us since we arrived until we left. Complementary room upgrade for my birthday . Plenty food choices at the restaurant. Amazing views, clear waters white sand ️️recommended.
